while

loops are the simplest type of loop in PHP. They behave just like their C counterparts. The basic form of a statement is:

`while``while````php while (expr) statement





  The meaning of a  statement is simple.  It
  tells PHP to execute the nested statement(s) repeatedly, as long
  as the  expression evaluates to
  true.  The value of the expression is checked
  each time at the beginning of the loop, so even if this value
  changes during the execution of the nested statement(s), execution
  will not stop until the end of the iteration (each time PHP runs
  the statements in the loop is one iteration). If the
   expression evaluates to
  false from the very beginning, the nested
  statement(s) won't even be run once.
 `while``while``while`


  Like with the  statement, you can group
  multiple statements within the same  loop
  by surrounding a group of statements with curly braces, or by
  using the alternate syntax:
  
 `if``while````php
while (expr):
    statement
    ...
endwhile;

The following examples are identical, and both print the numbers 1 through 10:

<?php
/* example 1 */

$i = 1;
while ($i <= 10) {
   echo $i++;  /* the printed value would be
                  $i before the increment
                  (post-increment) */
}

/* example 2 */

$i = 1;
while ($i <= 10):
   echo $i;
   $i++;
endwhile;
?>
